TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I,VHEN RIETTA '1. W001), of the city and county of SanFrancisco, State of California, have invented an ImprovedCurntivo'Ointment; and I do hereby deelare'thut. the ingredients used inmaking said ointment, and the process of mixing and compounding them tomake it, are described in the following specification.

The nature of my invention is to provide on improved ointment for cuts,wounds, bruises, burns, scnlds, sult rheum, chapped hands, excorietions,piles, sore nipples, and other fractures and diseesesof the body.

For the preparation of my ointment, I use the following ingredients, towit: Two pounds of refined lurd; one-quarter (1;) of a pound of muttontallow'; two (2) ounces of beeswax; one (1) ounce of Arm'ca montana; andone-helf ounce of strnmonium-lcm'es or flowers. Place the arnica-flowersand strumonium-leaves in an earthen vessel, pour just enough boilingwater upon them to moisten them, and set in a warm place to mucerute forsin hours. Then add the lard, and simmer the whole over zt slow fireuntil the water is all evaporuted, after which it is to be strainedthrough a fine flannel, which, for convenience, is made into the form of:1 bag, into the earth-en vessel above described. The beeswax and muttontnllow are now added, and the whole simmered again for the space of onehour; after which it is strained into'boxes to cool for use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

The above-described composition for ointment, made of the ingredientscnumcrated, mixed or compounded in about the proportions specified.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
